The game is okay, nothing too special. And even though random battles might seem annoying, I prefer it over FFXII's battles. Before I stopped playing for the day, I was in the second portion of the desert with the oil drills and I needed to save, yet there wasn't a save point close by. So I ran all the way from that place, through the Zeltanian(sp) cave and through the first section, only to have wasted 8 Phoenix Downs and a lot of my time because of non-random encounters.
